Snøhetta

自成立以来始终保持其跨学科思维方式的Snøhetta如今已成长为国际知名的设计事务所，实践领域涵盖了建筑、景观、室内与品牌设计多个方面。来自30多个国家的180位员工集中于挪威奥斯陆与美国纽约的两个工作室。

1989年，Snøhetta在赢得国际竞赛后接下了其第一个方案－埃及亚历山大图书馆设计。而十年后，他们再次于挪威歌剧院的竞赛中夺魁。2004年，他们接到委托，为纽约世贸遗址建造其唯一一座文化建筑，并借此机会成立了纽约办公室。Snøhetta目前的项目遍布世界各地，为其设计师提供了宝贵的国际文化与经济事业，进而为Snøhetta的持续发展打下了专业的知识储备基础。

Snøhetta强调各学科间的开放与交流，建筑师、景观设计师、室内建筑师与平面设计师在合作中相互协作，并通过探索相互不同的观点避免偏见，平衡各方的利益与目标。而这种协作方式也延续到与业主的合作中。位置角色的互换使得各方能够走出舒适区相互理解，避免狭隘的思考方式从而实现整体性的设计。而这种跨学科综合设计的方式也成为了各行业中的唯一。

Snøhetta是挑战为机遇，对项目的深入研究与设计中对社会与政治环境的考虑保证了其项目的高质量。他们重视建筑与场所的对话，在场地特质与独有条件的基础上找到设计的出发点。极具场所性的设计带来了有意义且让人惊艳的互动，创造了全新而经得起时间考验的空间。

设计在时间的流逝中变得愈发丰富而美丽。作为设计师，Snøhetta种下种子，以明确而精准的概念为场所的转型奠定基础，并交予使用者实现、塑造其未来。对与地方文脉、历史与生态的深刻理解为项目带来了独树一帜的特色。

Snøhetta began as a collaborative architectural and landscape workshop, and has remained true to its trans-disciplinary way of thinking since its inception. Today, Snøhetta has grown to become an internationally renowned practice of architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture and brand design. Comprised of two main studios, in Oslo, Norway and New York, USA, the practice currently has more than 180 employees from 30 different nations.

In 1989, Snøhetta received its first commission to re-invent the great Alexandria Library in Egypt, after winning an international design competition. This was followed a decade later by another competition-winning proposal for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet. In 2004, Snøhetta was commissioned to build the only cultural building on the World Trade center memorial site, and a permanent office was then set up in New York. Snøhetta is currently involved in several projects in Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Working globally gives each designer valuable cultural and economic insight and creates the foundation of Snøhetta’s continuously evolving professional knowledge base.

Snøhetta practices a self-defined trans-disciplinary process in which different professionals – from architects to visual artists, philosophers to sociologists – exchange roles in order to explore differing perspectives without the prejudice of convention. Within our office, Snøhetta emphasizes an open exchange between roles and disciplines – architects, landscape architects, interior architects, and graphic designers collaborate in an integrated process, ensuring multiple voices are represented from the onset of the project.

When working with clients, this approach continues when we challenge clients to become architects and architects to become to clients. When interested parties come together as equals, we create a place to mutually understand each other’s objective and interests. Transpositioning promotes the positive benefits of moving out of one’s comfort zone. It defies narrow-minded thinking and encourages holistic approaches.

A definite relationship between multiple disciplines is a driving force in all of Snøhetta’s work. This is demonstrated over the company’s long history that the disciplines of landscape and architecture should be worked together without division from the earliest stages of designs.

Snøhetta’s commitment to an integrated trans-disciplinary practice, including architecture, landscape, interior, and design, has few parallels within the industry. The quality and strength of identity provoked by out designs is achieved by incorporating deep research, leveraging what are often challenges as opportunity, and factoring the social and political environment in the creative process. Our approach focuses on the dialogue between building and place, each informing the other. The inherent character and conditions of any site are carefully considered to provide a sound point of departure for each ensuing design. Projects truly of place can foster meaningful and often surprising interactions, creating something simultaneously new and timeless.

The realization of a design vision is a process: it accumulates richness and beauty through time. We believe that as designers we plant the seeds for this growth, grounding transformations of places with clear and precise concepts that create opportunities for the public to collaborate in shaping their future. Such design interventions that also arise from a deep understanding of local context, history, and the surrounding ecology are those which develop the most unique identity.

Snøhetta strives to provide the highest quality design that derives its power from the potential at the edges of disciplinary boundaries. A Norwegian word that can enhance this understanding is “hildring,” which refers to a kind of mirage that occurs when the line separating the sea and the sky disappears. Here, in this dissolving line, it may be possible to appreciate the differences in meaning and context that occur when we approach a new creation.

设计方法 Design Methodology

Snøhetta相信创造力不止来源于建筑师或设计师，而是各方共同合作的产物。在设计中他们保持与业主、社区团体及其他利益相关者的紧密合作，以获得对项目的全面认识。合作是Snøhetta的核心文化，他们与当地建筑师紧密合作，也会将从顾问处得到的技术信息整合到设计之中。

Snøhetta在复合型新建公共项目与设施、现状空间改造中积累了大量经验。而传统手工模型制作与现代尖端技术的同时运用则增添了其项目的多样性。设计工作室中先进的模型室在传统木工机床的基础上配备了可实现快速建造的大型3D机器人，让快速原型设计成为了设计过程的一部分，设计师也得以在模拟模型与数字世界中反复切换。

Snøhetta强大的设计概念保证了设计师在面对方案修改的同时不会牺牲设计的质量。而所有的落成项目都将兼具美学与实用。

Snøhetta approaches design with the idea that creativity is not always the sole domain of the architect or the designer, but is a product and process of collaboration among all participants in a project. We believe that architecture and design also can allow creativity to emerge from within, resulting in an organic realization of a shared vision. In practice, we begin our research by meeting with the client, community groups, and other stakeholders to gain a holistic view on the goals of the project.

Collaboration is at the core of our culture, and we have a track-record of working seamlessly with local architect partners as well as integrating technical information from our consultants.

Snøhetta has extensive experience with complex public projects in New York City, notably the National September 11th Memorial & Museum, the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the Times Square Reconstruction. Through our work on large high profile projects, our design leaders are adept at negotiating multi-headed client bodies and fielding the often conflicting interests of a wide range of stakeholders. Snøhetta thrives from rich collaborations with large consultant teams and client groups alike, and excels at the art of careful consensus building through multiple workshops, charettes, agency review committees, and other working venues. Client, user, and internal office workshops drive our design process and can often produce the most exciting, useful and fresh takes on a problem, giving way to a built project that can respond in kind.

Our team has expertise not only in developing programs for new facilities and public spaces based on needs, but also on complex projects involving existing spaces and additions that must also consider the existing “supply” of spaces and opportunities. Facilitating a programming process which balances the two, gets broad input, looks outside our industry for best practices, and integrates cost analysis is our hallmark.

Snøhetta’s working method practices a simultaneous exploration of traditional handicraft and cutting edge digital technology – a serendipitous relationship that drives our creative process. At the core of the design studio is a state-of-the-art modeling workshop equipped with 3D rapid prototyping capabilities and a large, programmable manufacturing robot. Alongside traditional woodworking machines, these tools enable rapid prototyping to become an integral part of the design processes, and allow ideas to move seamlessly between analogue and digital worlds and back again.

By creating strong initial concepts, we are able to accommodate a wide variety of modifications to the scheme without sacrificing the qualities envisioned. Once the project is realized, its success is based on both its aesthetic discussion and its functional conditions.

可持续发展 Sustainability

Snøhetta values human interaction. All of the studio’s work strives to enhance our sense of place, identity and relationship to others and the physical spaces we inhabit, whether natural or human-made. Art museums, reindeer observatories, visual identities, urban places, and dollhouses get the same care and attention to purpose. Trends are routinely ignored and essence is actively pursued.

At the heart of all our work lies a commitment to social sustainability, shaping the built environment in the service of humanism, and our projects involve extensive collaboration with clients, users, contractors and other stakeholders. We are interested in exploring the places we use in daily life, such as homes, schools, workplaces and public space. We know that well-conceived design we can help things run more efficiently, improve people’s well-being and make life more enjoyable. Every project is a unique expression of the ethos of its users, climate, and context.

Recognizing the wide range of environments that the building industry impacts, Snøhetta remains committed to careful analysis of the environmental and social effects of each phase of a project. We actively seek technical solutions that provide the most economical and natural systems for minimizing the environmental impact of the buildings we design. When the design development process allows for technology and architecture to optimize for a minimal environmental impact, we create building-integrated solutions where the architectural design responds to the strategy for ventilation, heating, cooling, lighting, acoustics etc.

We focus on letting knowledge of local climate, energy resources, and building materials and techniques to inform the design from the early stages of design development. A growing awareness of the environmental impact of our material palette and a stronger focus on the lifecycle perspective challenge each project to bring together the above-mentioned parameters to spark new concepts for the design of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Snøhetta is currently engaged in several pilot projects, both commercial and housing. We are participating in the important process of establishing new standards within planning and constructing in the building industry. The resulting technical results and design solutions will influence the industry on many levels, from the definition and writing of building codes to the common acceptance of early stage interdisciplinary team work.
